Manchester United youngster Darren Fletcher made a useful contribution from midfield, while Kenny Miller and Paul Dickov displayed some nice touches and were full of running up front but could not get a break in front of goal.

Scotland have played 13 friendly internationals under Vogts and won just twice - against Canada and a Hong Kong XI.

Vogts will continue to try and mould a side capable of qualifying for World Cup 2006 when Romania visit Tynecastle on 31 March.

"We have maybe 10 or 11 first class player," said a dejected Vogts. "And we must search for others to join them in these friendly matches."
